Raken

By audience

Construction Management

• Standardises daily reporting across every project so job-to-job progress can be compared on one set of fields.
• Rolls field-captured production quantities into Production Insights dashboards to measure actual performance against estimate.
• Gives the office a signed, time-stamped record of who was on site, what was installed and what the weather was, without chasing crews.

General Contracting

• Collects Collaborator (subcontractor) daily reports from unlimited subs and aggregates them into one GC daily report.
• Pushes signed daily reports, photos, checklists and toolbox talks into Procore, Autodesk or InEight document folders so the GC's system of record stays complete.
• Super Daily Reports give superintendents a project-level summary on top of the individual crew reports.

Specialty Contracting

• Trade crews log hours against ERP-supplied cost codes on a phone, so payroll is coded correctly at source rather than re-keyed.
• Material and equipment logs track installed quantities and owned-versus-rented plant per project.
• Certifications and the Labor Map show which qualified workers are available before a crew is committed to a shift.

Superintendent

• Writes the Super Daily Report from the jobsite and signs it, which is the event that triggers every downstream document sync.
• Reviews and approves crew time cards before they are pushed to accounting for payroll.
• Uses in-app messaging and tasks to close out issues raised on the walk without a separate punch tool.

Foreman / Field Supervisor

• Captures work logs, notes and time-and-date-stamped photos on a phone while walking the work.
• Runs crew time through supervisor-led time cards, a shared kiosk, or the worker time-clock app with geofencing and AI photo ID.
• Delivers toolbox talks from a library of 100+ topics and records attendance digitally.

Safety Management

• Assigns customisable safety and quality checklists and tracks completion by project and crew.
• Logs observations and incidents from the field with photo evidence and corrective actions.
• Safety dashboards aggregate checklist compliance and observation trends across the portfolio.

Accounting & Finance

• Receives completed time cards from the field on demand into Vista, Spectrum, Sage 300 CRE, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct, CMiC, ComputerEase, QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online.
• Pushes the ERP's projects, employees, cost codes, classifications and pay types down into Raken so field entry is coded against real accounting records.
• Formats a payroll-ready CSV for FOUNDATION, JD Edwards, Paychex and Points North certified payroll where no API sync exists.

By phase

Construction

• Daily documentation of the work in place — reports, photos, video, weather and manpower — captured the day it happens.
• Weekly payroll cycle: field time captured, approved, and synced to the ERP or exported as a payroll-ready file.
• Ongoing safety and quality compliance through checklists, toolbox talks, observations and incident logging.
• RFIs raised from the field and collaborated on in a Bluebeam Studio Session without leaving the RFI.
